After liberation, the city of Kherson suffers from Russian artillery bombardment that hits buildings and infrastructure.
Proximity to the front lines of war makes trying to regain normalcy more difficult, especially when basic services are lacking. And winter has already arrived.
“The enemy hopes very much to use the winter against us. We must do everything to survive this winter, however difficult it may be. Stand up and we will stand. To face this winter we have to endure everything. Russia still has missiles and an advantage in artillery, but we have something that the invader does not have and will not have. We protect our home and this gives us the strongest motivation”, says a resident of Kherson.
Citizens do not lower their morale, especially when you see that the soldiers are not surrendering.
Across Ukraine, electricity is intermittent and other supplies are in short supply, but everywhere people are trying to lead a normal life as if there was no war.
